Finding Your Place
The goal of the Membership Committee is to welcome
you to ministry at First Church and to help you engage in
worship, fellowship and mission in the church while serving God as disciples,
following His son and our Lord Jesus Christ in all moments
of our lives.
Our guiding and
grounding principles that plan and shape our direction and
mission are:
Recognizing the
power of Christ to transform lives, the core mission of First
Church is to:
1.
Proclaim Christ’s message
2.
Provide a community of spiritual nurture, and
3.
Promote God’s vision of justice.
This
statement serves as our congregation’s identity as we seek to
become God’s sent-out people. They guide us as we determine how
we allocate talent, resources, and time. We look forward to
charting our direction together as grateful stewards and loving
family members over the coming years. We welcome you to join us
in that ministry!
As
you decide to become a member of First Church you will be
challenged to rethink what it means to be a disciple of Jesus
Christ in this day and age.
A faithful member accepts God’s call to
be involved in the mission and ministry of God’s church by:
- worshipping;
- praying together and studying the
Bible;
- supporting the work of the church with
time, money and talent;
- demonstrating a new quality of life
within and through the church;
- responding to God’s activity in the
world through service;
living responsibly and working in the world for peace, justice,
freedom and human
fulfillment.
